The popular and controversial Colombian singer is being subjected to massive attacks by the fandom of BTS, and the reasons for the attack are compelling.
J Balvin causes controversy once more on social networks, this time everything has started thanks to the launch in its official store of the ‘Light Handle’, a type of flashlight used by fans at artists’ concerts.
However, and time following publishing this new accessory on his official page, the singer had to delete it due to the large number of attacks and complaints from ARMY, the fandom of the popular south korean group Kpop BTS.
The followers of the group used their social networks to express their dissatisfaction, stating that having deleted this accessory from their website, which bears an enormous resemblance to the ‘Army Bomb’ of BTS, it will not be enough to let you know that they will not allow the interpreter of ‘My people’ use ideas belonging to the fandom or the group in order to profit economically.
J balvin is part of Big-hit music but that doesn’t mean they should have the same LS, no artist under Hybe has the same LS it wouldn’t make sense because it represents an artist and the fandom, this seems like a cheap and very low copy ????#JBalvin @BTS_twt pic.twitter.com/HZh6TNdAgw
